Moss Bay Meeting Notes - May 8, 2017

5/11/2017

 
King County Metro Update from Julie Paone, Transportation Planner at King County Metro
  • This project is a partnership between King County Metro and Sound Transit.
  • The objectives are to improve service to and from the Eastside along 520 and the UW station, integrate bus and link rail connections, find solutions for congestion, and keep the public informed Multiple route change options are being considered. The 255 bus that currently goes directly from Kirkland to Westlake will potentially require a transfer at the UW station.
  • Input will be requested for draft proposals, including a town hall meeting in Kirkland in June 2017.
  • Provide feedback and learn more now at http://kingcounty.gov/depts/transportation/metro/programs-projects/link-connections/sr-520.aspx

Totem Lake Development update from Kirkland’s Planning Department
  • Scott Guter provided an update on the Village at Totem Lake will have about 360,000 square feet of retail and 650 residential units. This is the area that was the upper and lower Totem Lake Mall.
  • The Totem Lake area is considered an Urban Village, where growth is concentrated for retail, office, and residential space – about 3,250 housing units in the next two years.
  • Aaron McDonald is working on projects that provide better connections to the Cross Kirkland Corridor at Totem Lake.
  • The Totem Lake Connector is the new bridge planned over 124th and Totem Lake Blvd. The design will be chosen from 4 options in June 2017. The current budget is $13M.

For the Love of Kirkland event
In January, Kirkland hosted a popular event that generated inspiring ideas for developing community connections. A group of attendees have planned a community-building event called Crossing Kirkland that will take place on September 9, 2017. They are envisioning stations for food and activities set up at different points along the CKC, hosted by each neighborhood association.

Update on matching grant project
  • In January, we voted to use our matching grant funds for a sign in Marina Park. The City and Parks Department have approved an artistic metalwork sign to be located on the side of the concrete lift station in the LakeShore Plaza. Although we considered a different type of sign that are often seen around Kirkland parks, there is not enough money in the matching grant funds to pursue it.
  • We asked participants to vote on moving forward with the metal sign or halting the project. The majority of participants voted to continue moving forward with this sign project.
​
Officer elections
  • We appreciate Dan Ryan’s service as Chair of the Moss Bay Neighborhood Association in the past year, and are sorry to see him step down.
  • We voted on a new slate of board members: Chair – Aimee Voelz, Co-Chair – Bea Nahon, Treasurer – Leslie Keller, Secretary – Amanda Judd

Future agenda topics and summer social meeting
  • Suggested topics for the future include City Council candidates and parking issues. If you have topic or speakers you’d like at future meetings, email [email protected].
  • There is interest in a summer social gathering since we don’t have a regular meeting in July. Watch for details.
